We are given the following equation to solve for x.


7x-6=218

The goal is to separate out the variable x.

Step 1:

Add 6 to both sides of the equation


\begin{gathered} 7x-6+6=218+6 \\ 7x=224 \end{gathered}

Step 2: (last step)

Divide each side of the equation by 7


\begin{gathered} (7x)/(7)=(224)/(7) \\ x=32 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the last step would be to "Divide each side of the equation by 7"
